Pairs well With:
Polish white sausage or, "Biała Kiełbasa," is one of the most recognizable types of Polish sausages! Enjoyed all around Poland and Polish homes around the world, it is cooked, baked, grilled and often added to soups, stews and other Polish dishes. On its own it’s great when enjoyed with a side of grated horseradish, brown Polish-style mustard and ćwikła (a blend of grated beets and horseradish). Polish dill pickles and pickled mushrooms are also excellent accompaniments, as is good, hearty Polish-style rye bread.
Our fresh Biała sausage has all the flavor and tradition you would expect from this staple Polish deli product - fresh, uncooked and non-smoked, it is made from select cuts of tender pork, with a little beef or veal added for the body. It is seasoned with salt, garlic and touches of marjoram. In Polish families around the globe, biała kiełbasa is a traditional Easter treat, although it is great enjoyed any other time of year too!
Product must be cooked before consuming. These sausage links can be fried in a skillet, baked, poached or grilled. There is no, one right way to cook this sausage as each method has its own advantages but there are some general rules. See our suggested preparation instructions for details.

For a FRIED version with sauteed onion, follow these instructions:
Ingredients:
- 1 ring of Polana thin biala sausage
- 3 medium onions
- Cooking oil or pork lard
- a pinch of salt and pepper and chives for decoration
Instructions:
- Peel the onions and cut them into feathers, half rings or whole rings. Cut the sausage ring into 5-6 inch pieces.
- Heat a large skillet well. Pour in the oil or melt the pork lard. Lay out the sausage pieces, one next to the other. Fry on medium burner power for about 3-4 minutes on each side. The sausages should be nicely browned.
- Add the onion and cook everything together without covering the pan with a lid. Stir the onions every few minutes so they don't burn. Sauté for about 20 minutes until the onion is lightly browned and caramelized.
- Spread some of the onions over the surface of your serving platter. Place the sausages on top of the onion, one next to the other. Top with the remainder of the onions. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and chopped chives.
Smacznego!
